Introduction 1
Religion in this case interests me as it allows me to create a personal relationship between the paintings and our reality.
I hope to learn more about religion in relation to Leonardo Da Vinci’s works.
I also hope to create a connection with the different forms of art which existed at his time and how they used the theme for their development.
Introduction 2
Religion was one of the most famous themes in the renaissance period
It allowed a painters such as Leonardo Da Vinci to express their feelings and emotions towards different aspects of religion through their paintings.
It was motivated by the accurate portrayal of classical monuments in a lifelike manner through naturalism, Leonardo Da Vinci portrayed different aspects of religion.
Therefore, religion promoted both Leonardo Da Vinci’s artwork and his faith as a strong Catholic Christian.
The Last Supper
“The Last Supper” is Leonardo Da Vinci’s artwork drawn in 1498
Leonardo made the image of the last supper lifelike portraying a more human inspired drama
He focused on showing people on the idea of Jesus getting betrayed by one of his disciples
